Project Summary

LinkUp Studio developed a complete SaaS marketplace from scratch for a temporary-living brokerage, replacing a nonfunctional MVP. The vendor built payment processing and a booking engine, set up AWS hosting, and created automated testing scripts through roughly 22 sprints over one year. The client praises the team's project management, communication (Slack, video calls) and use of Trello, and reports that without LinkUp they would not have been able to launch.
